yes, and i swear it makes me cry sometimes... i want to get up and just walk but i cant i have to hold on to the sink and just breath, they say it is gas... well then, i better let out a huge "fart" one day that is going to blow up this house.. and I can only to water and protein drinks too... water sometimes makes the pain worse...

Well I may have to go to the store and pick a binder up.the ones I have will be to tight now that I have swelling from surgery.

I gained weight to it will come off in about 3 days. Also the yoga pose child pray pose helps with gas but it put weight on you stomach and you still have a drain..the worst for me is the left side plain which I'm ready to call the Dr about...however I'm glad you are home and well have a blessed day

I have always been very active, played sports worked out etc.. and have thought well if i workout for 2 hrs a day i can eat around 1800 calories and be ok..and then I would have one big cheat day. Now that i have had WLS 9/13, i have lost my ever loving mind. and i really think i am in love with food. I have been dreaming of it.. I dreamed last night i was a golden coral eating everything and let me tell you it was sooooooooooooooo good. then my husband woke me up right before i got to the desserts, I was so pissed.. Now I have my answer to why my weight came on and off, not because i didnt eat right, but because i ate crap.. I am scared at how my mine it going to adjust if in my subconscious I am dreaming of food..I dont eat red meat and all i want to do is go get a hamburger right now.. i mean really who does that!! what is wrong with me.. ugh I am so disgusted right now..

yeppers, nothing cold for me... and i can get down 1 Protein shake and that is about it. 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of Jello and pudding for the day. and then i sip on sleepy time tea all day long.. I have been dreaming of food.. like meatloaf, hamburgers. etc.. i swear i think i have to go see someone..lol.. be for i wake up and my pillow is gone cuz i dreamed of a marshmallow and ate it..have a wonderful and blessed day..

yeah, ive been coughing, because i ended up with a lung collapsed after surgery so i just think that whole left side is a hot mess...thank you for reply.. have a great day

thank you for your reply, i may have to start taking pain meds, he gave me diualud 2mg q 4hrs. i just hated taking meds like that.. put i may have no other choice.. you surgery date was on my birthday... lol

when i go in for my 1 week post op I will ask for a brace, as we use to give them to our pt after surgery all the time.. i just didnt thing to ask him for one when i left the hospital.. thanks for the information...and some gas x

congrats!!! maybe a rib was out of place?, so happy for you...

glad your wound is healing.. i tried to walk to the mail box which is 10 houses away up hill, yeah, not such a good idea..lol.. i thought i wonder if i could ride my dog like a horse back to the house?... take care

it will be ok, take some music with you to listen to. make sure you bag it packed, i went and got a pedicure and my eyebrows done they day before surgery and hair cut and colored just to get my mind off of it.. we will all be waiting for you on the losers bench...

OMG, i just posted the same question on the POST forum,.LOL.. so lets see what people reply with, even though my surgery is only 6 days out, now i have something to go by... and now I wanna cry.. I cant drink anything COLD, it will lay out... warm tea it fine.. and the pain it stabbing and it is not gas.. what else did he say to do? i have found i have to lay on a heating pad on my stomach, my husband said i cant beileve you can lay on your stomach... it is the only way i can sleep. also are you able to eat anything.. i am so hungry and i cant drink a protien shake to save my life..it kills my left side..2 sips im done

Hello Y'all, surgery date 9/13/2013, with complications of collapsed lung so I stay additional days. I am home now, but wondering at what point did everyone pain on the left side go away? I can not drink anything cold at all. or it lays my straight out. mind you I am not taking any pain meds and refused them in the hospital as much as possible. Warm tea seem to agree well, Protein drinks, 2 sips and I''m up walking circles in my house in stabbing pain. I understand it hasn't even been a week yet, but I was just wondering HOW LONG DID YOUR PAIN LAST? thanks a bunch..

yeah, im so glad everything went so well for you.. i know they want you to get up and walk but i thought how, when they have us so medicated.. please take care of yourself.. Prayers and little hugs from SC

congrats.. you should get a bell and ring it when ever you need something... ting a ling...ting a ling... my husband was happy to go to work today.. i think he may have got dresses in the car, and went in 2 hrs early..lol

Woot woot ....get it gurl...

Good luck many prayers..

I was is tears, the whole was home, so 1/2 way home!!. OMG, he looks at me and says is this worse than your kidney stone? or natural child birth (10lbs)... um yeah.. one PLUS, I got my dress back, there was one draw NO one could get open the PACU RN comes up stairs kicks it opens and says I brought you up and but your dress right here.. i couldn't believe it, As i was leveing everyone in the hospital asked about the dress and shoes.. which i thought was so funny , i am just glad to have them back..
